Xue Yan went to the ditch to get her hoe. The mother must have put it aside when she came home.
“Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue.” Li He Hua could not wait to pack her things and quickly walked toward Jiang Yue with motherly love.
His voice was still very soft, as she was still afraid of scaring the little child.
Seeing that Li Hehua still wanted to hug her, Jiang Yue immediately wanted to hide. She really wasn’t used to other people carrying her. Moreover the fact that Li He Hua wanted to treat her like a baby.
Yet, when she looked to the side, she saw that Xue Yan had gone to get the hoe, and there was no place for her to hide. She could only shrink her small body and get carried by Li Hehua.
Now that she was being carried, she didn’t have to look up at anyone. This was good, but she still felt awkward.
She looked like a child, but she was actually an adult.
“Jiang Yue. Oh my, Jiang Yue.” Li Hehua looked at her and couldn’t stop calling her name. “Why are you here too, Jiang Yue?”
Jiang Yue’s body was still tense, but she replied calmly, “My brother wanted to come, so I followed him here.” He shouldn’t be called Xue Yan.
In other people’s eyes, she was just a child. Since she had to try her best to hide something, it was better to call her brother.
“Sister-in-law, please let me down.” Jiang Yue couldn’t help but say. It was just too awkward. “You’ve been working all day, you should be tired.”
“I’m not tired. When I see you, I forget all about my fatigue.” Li Hehua hurriedly said, still very much in love with her.
It was as if she would be happy just by hugging her.
Jiang Yue was speechless.
In the end, LiHehua had to pack her things to go home and couldn’t carry everything, so she put her down.
Jiang Yue heaved a sigh of relief as soon as she was put down. She was finally free. Her body also relaxed and was no longer tense.
At this time, Xue Yan came back with a hoe and saw her relieved look. He didn’t know what had happened, but he didn’t ask anything.
Xue Yan looked around and asked Xue Dafu, “Father, where’s Wufu? Didn’t he come with you to explore the wasteland? Where is he?”
Jiang Yue was also curious, so she turned to look at Xue Dafu.
Xue Dafu had his back to them as he tied up a bundle of firewood. The firewood was covered in weeds, small branches, and roots. They were cleared out when they were exploring the land. He didn’t even turn his head when he heard Xue Yan. He continued to tie up the firewood and prepared to bring it home to burn as he replied, “He heard that Zhu Zi and the others were going to learn hunting with Hunter Wu in the deep mountains tomorrow. He also wanted to learn, so he went to find Hunter Wu to talk about this matter. He has not returned yet.”
Hearing this, Xue Yan’s expression changed.
In his previous life, his fifth brother had gone to the mountains to learn how to hunt for the first time. Tomorrow would be the death anniversary of his fifth brother in his previous life.
In this life, he would not let anything happen to his brother no matter what.
Xue Yan began to be absent-minded.
Jiang Yue found it strange. Was he worried about his younger brother going into the mountains to learn how to hunt? Or was he not allowed to go hunting in the mountains?
Besides, she wanted to go hunting too, and the wooden stick had already been shaved.
Now that she saw his big reaction, could she tell him that she also wanted to go hunting?
On the way home, Xue Yan was still absent-minded.
Jiang Yue saw everything and wanted to ask, but she opened her mouth and didn’t say anything. She thought that since this matter was related to Wufu’s hunting, she would wait until he seemed better.
